Better yet, automate it.

Agreed, they know the risks and should know better, but that’s what the situation has come to in some jurisdictions where it’s impossible to keep on qualified personnel for (relatively) low salaries. “You get what you pay for” incarnate.

Fuck grace and kindness, at least enucleate their eye. Getting murdered IRL isn’t like in books, TV series or movies, you don’t just fall down like a sack of grain. It hurts the whole time, don’t forgive someone who’s trying to do it to you.

Fuck, that was so brutal. Even given what I’ve learned about cops over the years, this case is particularly egregious, that poor fucking kid was murdered by pigs and paramedics with fucking ketamine of all things.

It’s a part of standard sentencing guidelines, what’s normally referred to as “good behaviour” while in jail/prison can contribute to reduction of sentences. The problem here is what you see quite often though, in that the disposition of the judge plays an important role in determining whether or not it’s applied - specifically in this case, to someone found guilty of stalking and apparently intending to assassinate former POTUS Obama. The former sentencing for participating in the Jan. 6th riots should have compounded the sentence and prevented early release, but this is where the U.S. judiciary is at present unfortunately.

I’m not aware of that specific case, but yeah that tracks. I’ve read about incidents where the cops were enraged about things like victims of traffic accidents or assaults by officers being soaked in blood, getting it on them, and stating that they ‘didn’t want to risk getting hepatitis/AIDS’ as justification for declining to provide lifesaving medical intervention. In some cases, the delay in care led to deaths, while they stood by, and weren’t censured by their departments.

They’ve been using seizures from acute health incidents and tazers both as justification for escalation of force because “suspects were resisting” for quite a while.

Real talk; if someone who knows these supervillain-level lunatics could do the entire planet a solid and break their arms, I’d really appreciate it.

Working hard at your next promotion, I see.

Cops do it constantly. TBH I’d chalk that level of bullshit up to them constantly using ChatGPT to write their reports now, except that they’ve been pulling the same bullshit forever and getting away with it nearly every single time.

Speaking as someone who’s worked contracts in secure facilities, I can say from experience that no one working in a place like this is even mildly surprised. The extent to which ‘learned blindness’ is applied should worry people still assuming that vaunted organizations or even government facilities are protected by strong security policies instead of mostly by the base restriction of non-authorized personnel from work areas.

Not naming names, but if your org doesn’t use the classic Admin & Password defaults, and forces you to renew your terminal passwords on a regular basis, don’t write it down on a Post It and stick it to your fucking monitor where anyone walking past can see. The sheer scale of the incompetence here is galling, in that teenagers have a better sense for passwords than the Louvre security & tech team apparently.

Edit: spaced and omitted part of sentence structure

Aaah, OK, that makes good sense. I was trying to figure out how to integrate that into the story as I read it but started balking after the 3rd one lol NBD, thanks for the post.

What’s the deal with all of the “opens new tab” entries?

I’m glad that someone said this, it’s often lost in the conversation about communicable diseases. Vaccination doesn’t guarantee that you won’t catch, suffer from, or transmit an illness. The jabs aren’t Superman essence, it’s just that in my understanding, you’re more likely to be affected in a way more akin to getting hit by a bicycle than a MAC truck (you’re hurt but not hopelessly crippled or killed outright), and less likely to pass it along. To what degree, I couldn’t say, but it’s less which is good by me.

Don’t hesitate, if someone is stupid enough to do it and openly admit it, just punch them in the mouth immediately. No warning, right in the teeth.

Some don’t learn, even after getting lessons the hard way. Others forget very quickly. Someone posted this scanned news clipping from the early 20th century in light of similar ‘anti-masking’ during the COVID pandemic. It’s always the same types of bullheaded dolts, and they’re not the only ones falling victim to their imbecile behaviour.

Try radiooooo for a fairly wide selection of tracks from 1900 to the current year. There are featured playlists compiled by the site itself, but no user generated ‘channels/playlists’. Virtually every country is represented (although understandably you may not find any/much content from Azerbaijan in the 1920’s or Tunisia in the 40’s). Content is not divided by genre, instead by country of origin, decade and “Slow, Fast, Weird”.

Concerned over POTUS’ failure to furnish information about extrajudicial killings of non-combatant civilians outside of an established theatre of combat where no declaration of war has been made?

I’ve got something for them to be concerned about, that’s a war crime that would fit the mandate of the ICC War Crimes tribunal. If China or Russia pulled this shit, everyone would flip the fuck out about blatant violations of established international legal norms. Call me skeptical, but if the war crimes trials following WWII couldn’t be bothered to secure convictions & executions for members of Japan’s Unit 731, nothing at all is going to happen to the member’s of this U.S. administration after they clear out.
